It's Awesome, Baby

{ Awesome. }

Sometimes, it's the little things in life that are the most awesome.  Small joys and simple pleasures like new shoes, Cheetos fingers, the smell of cookies, and when the Santa at the mall actually has a real beard.

If that's your kind of thing, then you really ought to check out the goodness over at 1000awesomethings.com.  Add it to your Google Reader { which in and of itself is awesome } and enjoy.

They're literally counting down a thousand things with 400 left to go.   And it's been turned into a book... not surprisingly titled "The Book of Awesome."

Some of my favorites include:

• #965 - Building a stack of pancakes that looks just like the front of the box
• #874 - The 5 Second Rule
• #840 - Popping Bubble Wrap
• #604 - Walking on grass with bare feet
• #606 - The Kid's Table
• #501 - Picking the fastest moving line at the grocery store checkout
• #409 - Kids who dress themselves

And now I've written the word "awesome" so many times I'm not even sure if I'm spelling it right anymore.  AWESOME!
